Celebrate Goatober: Why Wisconsin Pasture Raised Goat Meat Belongs on Your Table

Although we are a little tardy addressing this annual month-long event celebrating goat meat, as most events in Wisconsin correlating with this worldwide celebration occur in September, we felt we would be remiss not to inform you of the many benefits of adding goat to your fall dinner rotation. This was the original intention of the creators of the holiday in New York in 2011, to encourage restaurants to put goat meat on the menu and help people enjoy it at home.

There are many advantages to lean goat meat over beef, as you can see in the infographic below. While goat is a great stand-alone protein source used globally, you may question how its flavor profile can work into your everyday diet. We always describe it as sweet to those who ask; however, a recent description on heritagefoods.com perfectly captures it: "bright, lean and floral with a clean grassy finish." While it may sound like we are describing a fine glass of wine, this is the true essence of well prepared, pasture raised goat meat.

There are countless ways to easily incorporate goat into familiar dishes if you know your flavor profiles. If you are new to cooking goat, check out our recipe collections on our Pinterest or website. And if in doubt, always remember the golden rule when cooking goat, keep it low and slow.
